Hello and Welcome to the forums!!! I am in AB and I know the process is very different in SK as we checked out the possibility when we were considering a move to Saskatoon. I know that SK no longer has any avenues of private adoptions as all the private agencies are no longer open.

Here is a link to the government site to get you started ... you'll have to contact your local community resources office to begin the process for adopting from SK. I do know that for the most part, you would be limited to your home province for a domestic placement as the laws are different in every province that makes interprovincial placements a very difficult thing (although I do know that our agency has had some success with working with SK and BC, and we were considered for two very unique situations in Ontario during our waits for our kiddos).

Here is some info on international adoption. It sounds like you starting point for this is a community resources office as well. Hope that helps get you started.
